Mimer SoftRadio

Mimer SoftRadio

Mimer SoftRadio is a system that gives you the possibility to control your two-way radio over a LAN or over the Internet. It also lets you mix and match different brands and types of radios as well as phones and intercom.

Many users can share one radio and each user can operate many radios.

Why do I need this?

Mimer SoftRadio takes two-way radio into the computer era. You can use your ordinary PC as a dispatcher console, you can use your office LAN and/or the Internet for distribution. 

This opens up for completely new types of radio systems and dispatch centres. And it saves you money on leased lines!

12 radios connected at WSJ.

Lots and lots of extras have been developed to make your dispatch central complete.

We have options for cross patching, group sending, phone connection. We have servers for audio recording, status logging and more.

SoftRadio at WSJ

We have built a large Mimer SoftRadio system at the site of the World Scout Jamboree, this year held in Sweden.

The radio system consists of 12 repeater channels, 24 simplex channels and over 1.000 portables plus a Scada system for pump alarms. Together with this a Mimer SoftRadio system with 12 radios, 20 operators and VoiceLog.

The system was used during WSJ, July 27 to August 8 2011, and for the build up and tear down periods. An event for 39.000 scouts from over 150 countries plus thousands of visitors.

Where did the project start?

It all started with a customer that wanted to operate eight radios and three phones from three operator positions - in a vehicle. We had to come up with a new concept and Mimer SoftRadio was born.

You can read more on the Command and Control Vehicle page. 

Every radio type has its own virtual control head.

The latest virtual control head:

Motorola MotoTrbo.

The Mimer name

It is not an acronym, it comes from:

• Firstly Mimer is the name of an old Nordic Viking god. Those who drank the water from Mimer's well, got the ability to see and hear everything that had happened and everything that would happen.
• Secondly the system mimics the radios control head functions on its virtual control panel.
